Denial

It's a lull.

But is it real?

Or is it just because everyone's been removed from the situation, so there's no longer a situation?

If everyone's put back in the situation, will it dissipate anyways?

And if it does, will anyone believe me?

That's what's so difficult. Everything changes. Everything goes in waves. Life is like a tide. So why shouldn't this be any different?

But people don't see that.

Waves are too complex for us.

All or nothing, and when in doubt: the option that requires less effort as a whole.

That' right.

Deny it ever happened.
